You know those weirdly captivating Youtube rabbit holes? Yep, found myself in one of those, and lo and behold, stumbled upon this little gem of a forum. Now, don't ask me to find that video again, my browser history is as confusing as a Picasso painting at this point. But yeah, in the video the bloke in the video claimed his lady love dug up some intel from this forum which he used to orchestrate a supposed confession from another jailbird, thus snitching his way to a shorter stay in the slammer.
And I thought, "Huh, that's a fun Friday night" and fired up my trusty keyboard, begged the almighty Google to lead me here, and voila, here I am! Having done a bit of a semi-deep dive into the content (Yes, I've been snooping), I found a shocking level of honesty and thought, "Why the hell not?"
Now, don't get me wrong, my interest in crime is mostly confined to the popcorn-chomping, armchair detective sort. Actual crime-doing? Not my cup of tea. I mean, I'm so fucking clean, I make freshly fallen snow look dirty. Seriously, not even a single speeding ticket or moving violation to my name. I even pay my taxes. All of them. I know, revolting!! The extent of my criminal record involves a few parking tickets, but hey, we all have our rebellious phases, right?
I'm all for live trial watching when time permits, and while I don't endorse the death penalty (I'm of the "An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind" school of thought), I'm not exactly advocating for cuddle parties in prison either. My version of "hang 'em high" simply translates to life behind bars with no hope of tasting freedom again. A tad to soft, you say? Maybe. But I've seen you lot handle worse and I've only been here less than 24 hours.
Now, I need to be clear, I'm steadfast in my anti-death penalty stance. But GOD DAMN when I hear about those who've harmed kids, there's a part of my brain that momentarily vacations in a land where poetic justice exists. It's just a fleeting stress busting daydream, mind you... and at the end of the day, I'm all for life sentences.
Well, fuck, I wrote a novel as usual. It's a bad habit, sorry. Well, that's my rant. Brace yourselves, folks. This newbie's here to stay.. uh.. if you'll have me, that is.
TLDR: YouTube, Google, keyboard, Mock Forum - in that order.
